pretty sure we've learned a lot since then and the "downplaying" was correct.

If Trump had come out hard against COVID Democrats would have - in kneejerk fashion - downplayed it.

But I think it's silly to go through the excuses for Trump - nobody cares about this. Nobody is shocked that Trump contradicts himself and says whatever half-thought out shite goes through his head.

If he has said those things out loud - the media would have destroyed him for fear mongering

I’m in shock Trump would lie about this. Why? Just tell the truth.

If what he said is really all that conscious-shocking, why did Woodward not report about this earlier and instead waiting under 55 days before the election....

Oh.

Are you honestly surprised he'd lie?

He knew this would be bad either way because all defenses at the source (China) were removed and all previous defense plans were abandoned. We went 2 years re-organizing and removing staffing from China that could have curtailed this.

It is going to be very difficult to put a positive spin on this one.

I seem to remember watching clips of Democratic leaders down playing this early on and calling Trump out for the travel ban

But but but.... TRUMP is the fear monster always making things worse than they actually are just to get re-elected!!!


How rich is this? The Democrats are attacking Trump for NOT stoking fear about a Pandemic. It's the President's JOB to keep the country from unnecessary panic!

Trump's best move now would be to resign, let Pence pardon him.

The recommendation was to NOT wear a mask. Remember? Fauci?

Situation is well beyond liberal vs conservative at this point my brother. Pence could actually beat Biden if stuff shakes out that way.

Somebody would rather BIG GOVERNMENT make decisions for us regarding our safety in a health crisis.

To be honest, I could catch him in bed with a little boy and still vote for him at this point.

Dems, rinos and msm demand that trump run around with his arms flailing, screaming that it is the end of the world.

Then again, had trump acted like that... then the dems, rinos and msm would've taken the opposite stance again.. and claim that trump is overreacting and deliberately causing a mass panic, and that covid19 is similar to the common cold.
